1.6A at 51C

[Stormer]

hey when i overclocked my cpu to 158fsb.. ran prime95 for about only 35 minutes.. the temperature rose from 30C to 51C hehe is this typical? and if i ran it for like 24 hours would the temp really rise? and secondly is it worth keeping this OC due to these really high temps?

A little toasty, but not bad. Maybe I missed it, but what kind of cooler are you using?

If I remember correctly Intel says these things can operate at 60c.

volcano 7+ however i like it quiet and only keep the low setting on the fan on

[jazztrumpet216]

A wee bit high, I'd switch it up to medium if I were you. And no, those temps will level off around there.

The P4 will begin to throttle down at 70C, so theoretically that is the maximum operational speed.

i would get a better cooler if you cant stablize those temps with that overclock.

i've read from many sources that it's good to keep your p4 under 60'C. anything above that, except a sporatic extreme heavy load, is not good. that seems to be a good rule of thumb for a p4. so you seem ok.

my p4 1.6@2.2 idle at 39C, heavy load at 51C.
case, usually around 34C.

phillyTIM what is yr room temp?

around 30 degrees?

:) danson

[phillyTIM]

no honestly my room temp is about 78F, which translates to about 25C.

So I must be doin' pretty good, right?

That's usually what my case temp starts out at upon turnon.

thats good my cpu idles at 46c and full loads at 57c which is about ok with 1.8 volts at 2.776

I would think, then, that your reported temps are good. I mean, mine is 39C/51C with standard 1.5v. You're with 1.8v and only a few degrees more; sounds like we're all pretty much in spec as far as temps.

gosh this is fun!
